Air Fryer Potatoes
I love my Power Oven AIR FRYER (Amazon affiliate link). I thought long and hard before getting one because, you know how you wonder if you’ll really use it.
I mean, how many things to you have lying around your house that you thought you couldn’t live without?
Well, I REALLY use it… a lot! It’s not only an air fryer, it’s also a rotisserie and dehydrator too.
It’s very versatile. In the name of CRISPY, you’ll love it especially, because you’ll use a lot less oil than deep or pan frying.
Here are just some of the things I make in my air fryer: Honey Teriyaki Chicken Wings, Parmesan Rosemary Roasted Potatoes, Maryland Crab Cakes, and Coconut Shrimp!
Plus, I use it to warm up frozen waffles and reheat soggy, leftover pizzeria fries because I can make them crispy again!
Air fryers make a great gift for new cooks and seasoned cooks alike.
Sweet Potato Fries in the Air Fryer
Making sweet potato fries in your air fryer is simple! You can buy the already peeled and cut sweet potatoes if you grocery store carries them or you can do it yourself.
Just use a potato peeler to get the skin off and then cut them in long strips.
For this recipe, I bought them already cut and peeled so, all I have to do is season and bake them. It cuts prep time down to a couple of minutes and fewer things to wash.
However, you’re going to pay more for the convenience like anything else.
Sweet Potato Fries Ingredients
Here are the five basic ingredients you’ll need:
- 14 oz crinkle cut sweet potatoes
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp grated Parmesan cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
Then, you mix the sweet potatoes, oil and seasonings in a bowl or right on the baking sheet.
Next, lie out the potatoes in your air fryer or conventional oven baking sheet so they don’t overlap.
You want the air to get to each French fry.
Then, bake them in your air fryer at 380F for about 20 minutes or until you can pierce them with a fork and they’re tender.
Last, IMMEDIATELY sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top while they’re piping hot and then garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
